Is OverbiteWX safe?
OverbiteWX redirects Gopher URL navigations through the Floodgap HTTPS proxy.
When you open a gopher:// link, OverbiteWX captures the requested Gopher URL and rewrites the current tab to Floodgap's HTTPS proxy. The requested URL is appended to the proxy request so Floodgap receives the Gopher destination you tried to visit.
